New York: So, Haliey Welch, the girl behind the viral “Hawk Tuah” catchphrase, is in a bit of hot water. After launching a memecoin called $HAWK, things went south pretty quickly. Investors lost a whopping $151,000, and now they’re suing.
It all kicked off on December 4 when she announced the launch. Just two weeks later, people were filing lawsuits, claiming the coin was sold illegally. Ouch! Welch is now saying she’s fully cooperating with the legal team to help those affected.
Remember when she first went viral? It was back in June when a content creator asked her about a move that drives guys wild. Her cheeky response blew up, and suddenly, she was everywhere. She even copyrighted the phrase and started a podcast!
But back to the memecoin. It shot up in value right after launch but then crashed hard. Investors are pointing fingers at the Tuah the Moon Foundation and the crypto team she worked with. They’re claiming it might have been a scam, which is a real bummer.
Welch did a live stream to address the situation, but it didn’t go too well. She interrupted the stream, and that moment went viral for all the wrong reasons. Finally, on December 20, she posted a statement saying she’s taking this seriously and wants to help uncover the truth.
She’s urging anyone affected to reach out to a lawyer. It’s a wild ride for her, and it’ll be interesting to see how this all plays out.
